P.S. 135 (Public School 135),[2][3] also known as P.S. 35 (Public School 35),[4] is a historic school building located at 931 First Avenue at East 51st Street in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was built in 1892[2][5] on the site of "Mount Pleasant", the estate of James Beekman.[6] The school was designed by George W. Debevoise in the Romanesque Revival style,[2] and has been at various times a community center, a homeless shelter and a nursery school, as well as the United Nations International School.[6][7] There was an addition made to the building in 1904.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[8] A condominium tower, The Beekman Regent designed by architect Costas Kondylis, was built inside the facade of the building in 2000.[9][10][11]
